Very nice as always but I wish Echelon would do some BAOR 1/35 Chieftain decals as there is a complete dearth of Chieftain AM decals out there yet loads for Leopards and M1's.

The ones in the Takom kits are predominantly 'Batus' vehicles or Berlin Camo and other than those, are some of the most uninspired decal choices I have seen in a box (superb kits mind).

I would love them to do a sheet of 'classic' Green/Black BAOR options.

The only trouble with that is BAOR vehicles had very little in the way of markings on them apart from their C/S in various units!

I agree with the general statement about BAOR vehicles but just about all AFVs only have limited markings; so it's not like these or any others have a plethora of markings to adorn them is it.

I will vehemently AGREE that British vehicles of all types from the many different conflicts through the entire 20th and on through into the 21st Centuries have largely been ignored. It's getting a little bit better, but COME ON! What is WITH these model and after-market manufacturers, anyway???
